Netstat for iOS

A network status tool that can be useful for programmers, developers, and advanced users who want to learn more about their devices' connectivity, Netstat can show you detailed connection data, including what connections the uploads and downloads on your iPhone or iPad are using.

Pros

Extensive compatibility: Netstat works with iOS 3.2 and the more recent versions. This means that you can use it even with your Apple TV and the 2010 iPod and iPhone models.

In-app feedback: It allows you to quickly communicate with the developers for inquiries on the features or bugs encountered. You won't be getting the fastest response, but at least you no longer have to open a separate app to go to the app's official website or to launch iTunes and send feedback. This is a feature every app should have.

Cons

Not really free: While labeled as a free app, many of its features are not free. For instance, to view connection details alone, you will have to pay $0.99. If you want to access all of the features listed on the Netstat app store page, you have to spend $3.99.

Bottom Line

Netstat works well, doing what it promises without issues. The problem with it is its misleading advertising: the free label only tries to get you to download the app on your device; but to use it, you are forced to pay for the "upgrades." The listed features are promising but may seem overpriced, considering that other apps offer them for free.
